• The Owl class builds on the skills of the 3 year old Chipmunks class, and in addition to incorporating all the aspects of the Pre-K Bears class, the crafts and centers are different.  The Owls class usually has older students, so we are able to explore more subjects in-depth, as older children often have different interests and ask different questions.
• This class has an additional session each week so we integrate extra activities, games and centers.  For example we have added science and craft centers.
• Our literature experiences include making predictions, retelling stories and role playing and additionally creating alternative endings and imagining new stories.
• This class has a daily writing center, which exposes the children to various writing and small motor activities.
• Children are encouraged to learn smaller site words and we encourage expression of ideas through drawing and independent writing.  
• We also have a listening center focused on early readers.
• There is an art appreciation program where children learn about artists and their work.  

The children also perform in a music program during the year. 

This class is also designed for those who are age eligible for TK or Kindergarten but would benefit from the gift of another year.
